I really miss your Lucilith fanfic! Are you going to return to writing any time soon?

aww hello anon!

I've been working on it on and off lately tbh for multiple reasons, a lot of life stuff happened shortly after I posted 3, and when those finally settled I hit my shitty mental health months, and those are finally at a close now that the new year has started, aaaaaaand my main focus atm is actually trying to get my webcomic up and running (I'm hoping to start posting that in march, still got some background things to get through for that)

BUT I AM STILL WORKING ON THE LUCILITH FIC I PROIMSE

Actually, after the helluvaboss mastermind episode I really wanted to get back into it cuz of that micro Lucifer not-cameo. It's kinda hard for me to stay engaged with it a bit tho, none of my irl friends wanna chat with me about Lucifer and the one that at least listens to my ramblings hasn't read the fic

I usually try to reread comments or rewatch episodes, but there's only so many times I can rewatch Dad Beat Dad XD

it doesn't help that chapter 4 is the one I knew I'd struggle with a lot? I had very clear ideas for chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5 but not 4. 4 is kind of in there because there's too big of a time skip between 3 and 5 that it'd be awkward

Plus I do want to explore some things that so far haven't been explained in the show

smol hilarious sidenote: because I like to share snippets when ppl send me asks, I'm pulling the doc and damn, you KNOW it's bad when your computer turns on its fans and begins to lag XD it's so big hahaaaaaaaaa help mee

word count: higher than last time I checked by like 2k words but given the sizes of the chapters that's kind of nothing

now let me see... trying to find a smol snippet that won't spoil anything but satisfies the need for more for a bit hmmm I already shared the first like 600 something words in this other thread and here's a link for that in case you missed it hmmm oh I got it! this is pretty funny imo

“Mmhmm....”

The man waited. 

“So would you mind repeating all of that over again?” Lucifer asked. 

“ARE YOU KIDDING ME???” the man pulled on his hair in frustration, “WHY???” 

The man had been monologuing at Lucifer for over an hour after he summoned him, and... to be quite honest, Lucifer had zoned out almost immediately. The guy’s voice was rather.... Drone-ish...

“I got distracted by something and missed a few details,” Lucifer played it off. 

The man kicked a rock and then began pacing angrily, muttering something about having messed up the ritual before spinning around to face Lucifer, “YOU’RE Lucifer?”

“Correct.”

“As in the scourge of heaven, the absolute ruler of hell?

“Yeppers.”

“One of the most powerful angels that ever existed.”

“Uh huh,” Lucifer picked at his teeth with his claws.

“ARE. YOU. SURE???”

They both stared at each other for a minute before Lucifer shrugged, “Listen, I don’t know what the problem is. You summoned me, and I can’t leave until either I help you or you decide you actually don’t want me here. So what. do. you. want????”

“I want the literal devil! I want a miracle heaven can’t take away or mess up! Not some short pale blonde man who can’t even pay attention to the conversation!” The man flopped on the ground exasperated. 

Lucifer sighed. He had been enjoying seeing earth again after so long and for a moment he felt the briefest twinge of his old love for humans tug at his heart, “Listen, just give me a short version of what you want.” 

“How on earth did you even get distracted anyways??”

“I was thinking of my wife,” Lucifer admitted. The way their conversation had ended lingered in his mind and weighed in his heart in a way he couldn’t properly describe.

The man stared at him, “YOU’RE MARRIED?????”

“You don’t know about Lilith???” Lucifer grabbed him by the collar, “She’s the most amazing person to ever exist! She’s twelve feet tall, gorgeous, so so smart, gorgeous, she’s actually doing most of the ruling of hell right now, gorgeous, her hair is super long and gorgeous, she’s incredibly smart and kind and zealous, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and-,”

“I don’t want to hear about your wife!” the man interrupted. 

“You what?” Lucifer felt so offended on Lilith’s behalf that his eyes glowed red. 

The man’s eyes widened and he scooted away on the ground in alarm, “Nonono I-... what I meant umm... She sounds amazing, why were you thinking about her??” he smiled nervously. 

Because last time I was on earth, I was with her and I wish she were here now. But we also had a fight and I don’t know how to fix that. I don’t think I’m wrong, heaven is awful and she’s taking a big risk trying to work with an angel from up there and like who even IS this guy??? Why does he think he can get heaven on board with something I couldn’t?? I mean I was a high seraphim, and if I couldn’t enact change then I doubt anyone who was lower ranking could either without getting instantly smited, and I’m so worried about her even though I know she can handle herself, but I don’t want her getting hurt by heaven and why can’t she just understand that heaven is never going to change, and the sinners aren’t worth the effort, they’re horrible people who got sent to hell for a reason, I mean like, what if they hurt her too?? Oh god Lilith is all I have left, for centuries she’s all that I’ve had, my only source of happiness left! I don’t even know who I am anymore, I can’t recognize myself in the mirror, but when I’m around her it’s like there’s still some part of me that I know and it’s the part of me that loves her, I love her so much- I don’t know what I’d do if I lost her or or-

A million thoughts raced through Lucifer’s head so fast that all he managed to blurt out for the man was, “shepretty.” 

They stared at each other as Lucifer struggled to keep a poker face on and the man waited for him to say more, too afraid to try and change the topic. 

After a moment longer, Lucifer snapped his fingers and out of the ground popped out a chair made of stone. The man stared wide eyed as Lucifer sat in it and then brought them back to the original problem at hand, “Three sentences or less, what do you want me to do for you?”

I do apologize again for the unintended hiatus, I do fully intend to get this out! I just have a lot happening rn, so much so I'm literally having to schedule other creative stuff otherwise I just don't do them XD

[himboblackdragon]

I was going to be more coherent about this, but I have a lot of thoughts! and feelings! that I need to get off my chest about how I think it’s so so good that Cang Lan Jue is about subverting destiny. How love is capable of doing so.

Like, we’re told from the beginning that Changheng and Xiao Lan Hua are a fated pair. We’re told that it’s inevitable. And then Dongfang Qingcang, who’s never met a rule or law he gives two shits about, including destiny or whatever, comes stomping in, he falls in love with Xiao Lan Hua, and the rest is history.

That’s why my favorite lines in the whole show are the words Qingcang says to Xiao Lan Hua before he dies:

本座说过我要替你逆天改命······我做到了。

I said I would defy the laws of the universe and change the course of destiny for you…I’ve done it.

(The first “I” is “this venerable one” and the second and third just plain old “I”! Love the contrast.)

Because that’s what the story is about! “Everything is fate, except love,” as Master Arbiter said.

(Also 逆天改命 is just a cool phrase)

[depresseddepot]

does anyone have any writing advice about what to do/how to proceed when you keep re-outlining a plot because "wait that might be better"

[waywardsalt]

tbh i might go ahead and put dungeons in as a part of the bellum x linebeck fic's plot since like. 1) struggling to actually figure out a main plot and having dungeons as sort of bit points to hit and be little bits of fitting exploration and bonding and 2) i do kinda want to do dungeons. i like thinking of them and again i do think its fitting.

[walterdecourceys]

goodnight by the way..

[risingsunresistance]

very much wantint to talk about the resistance rn, so!

do you have any theories involving the resistance/dante? 👀

hmmm idk about theories but i do have a lot of random headcanons, my favorite of them being that the rising sun armor looks a bit crystalline. going off the furfsky textures, think of it like amethyst. i think it being crystal and having ~special~ magic properties attached to it would be a good explanation for why they were useful against dante but Actual Armor wasn't any use. also, i imagine someone had to actually make all of the armor and the staffs, we didn't have the admins on our side so they couldn't just be poofed in with commands or anything. i like to think a few of the NPCs and also the resistance leaders helped forge them themselves, each copy is nice and handmade to fit you :D

i honestly have more questions than anything. like... i don't have a good theory for why dante got his powers from the moon. what was that about??? the reason the resistance was called the rising sun was because. WE WANTED THE SUN BACK... HE TOOK IT AWAY. HOW DID HE DO THAT. WHY DID HE HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER. WAS THAT THE ADMINS OR HIM. AND WHY DID HE DO THAT. WHAT ABOUT HIM IS CONNECTED TO THE MOON WHA-

one thing i will forever be curious about is why ALL of the admins were on dante's side, and why they switched back over so fast... so many ways that could go. maybe they just hate the players lmao. maybe they just follow power and dipped when they saw he lost. maybe they were forced to follow him for some reason, since dctr DID tell us to not vote for him and we did anyways (dctr later backed dante despite saying to not vote him in). maybe they're still on his side with the goons that are apparently still around... 👀

[your-fave-is-bi]

i love how knitting patterns have super detailed and exact instructions on what to use etc etc and every time i look at one im like. what if i....didn't exactly do that? and just kinda fucked with your instructions a bit hm?

[tariah23]

Hi I hope this question makes sense but how would I call out friends use of what might be aave? Im worried about being wrong and it not being aave/sounding like a white knight but I dont want to ignore it.

Hi! And no, you’re fine. If you’re not black, it’s always best to look up terms and listen to what black people say to begin with, that’s the most important thing and if you’ve seen black people talk about a specific term that you might recognize as being aave, simply let your friends know that they shouldn’t really be using such terms in the first place since at this point, viewed as antiblack and micro aggressive because Black people have grown tired of having to talk about this same problem over and over again. Especially when they use such terms directed at Black people. If they continue to use the terms despite being told not to, then you already know what they are.
